Lemon lecture

Date: 10/11/2022

I am teaching an economics class. I am not well prepared for the next class. While looking at hollow plastic potatoes filled with lemons, I get lemon juice all over my shirt and pants. We build a boat on the lecture stage. There is a large oil tank at the front. The mast is decorated with deer antlers. The sail is triangular. I decide to replace the lecture with h an improvised comedic play about lemons. We make up all the facts. At one point, I’m wearing a cloak and my scene partner is starting to describe me as a slave, but I indicate that it’s inappropriate and he changes tack. It’s long and elaborate. Students slowly start to leave. I exit the stage and walk around the building, coming in at the back door of the class. I sneak forward and hide behind some scenery. I decide it’s been long enough and make a dramatic speech to end the presentation. I assure students that this was just a fun break, and won’t be on the test. I go back to my office and start to prepare a lecture about the colonial project.
